Research Experience

1. Worked on JagSat-1, which was a 2U CubeSat that was built by the University of South Alabama. The goal of the mission was to measure the electron density in the ionosphere. I started working on the project on March of 2020. The project was funded by NASA and was launched successfully on SpaceX CRS-25. Listed below are some of the areas that I got to work on:

  • Time Domain Impedance Probe: This was main reason behind the mission. It was a mixed domain board. I redesigned the analog section of the circuit board. This included debugging the hardware first, and redesigning both the schematics and the PCB layout using DipTrace.
  • I redesigned the buck converter on the EPS board, which was the power supply board for the satellite.
  • I helped with the assembly of the solar cells.
  • I was responsible for prepping the circuit boards before integration into the satelite. Cleaning the boards using an ultrasonic cleaner, baking the boards to remove moisture, and applying conformal coating.
  • I helped with harnessing and soldering many different SMD components with different packages and sizes on all of the flight boards.

2. Wireless power transfer project. I assisted a professor with their research on wireless power transfer. I built a power amplifier that is capable of delivering 1.8KW to the load. I also built varies other circuits for the projects. The project won WPTCE best project award.
